Caroline
A long, long time ago
When life was fun
And every day was made of solid gold

Caroline
The days of you and me
When we were young
And filled with dreams that we would always be

But time moves on
And we drifted apart
And my world stopped turning
The day you broke my heart

Caroline
My precious memory
What I'd give if you'd forgive me
Caroline

But time moves on
And we drifted apart
And my world stopped turning
The day you broke my heart

Caroline
My precious memory
What I'd give if you'd forgive me
Caroline
'Cause dreams came true when I loved you
Caroline
